Once Upon a Local Nursery

Once upon a time was this independent flower nursery that I would stop at almost every week. I loved going to this nursery, first, because they had an amazing selection of flowers, succulents and they had fantastic metal flowers and plants (which I love because they never die!) Second, I loved shopping at this nursery because it was a small local business and I love supporting other small businesses.

This was one of my favorite places to stop at and browse through to find what would be my new flower this week. One of the flowers that I love so much, I fell in love with at this nursery. Of course, I had seen Iceland Poppies before but watching the bees doing their dance and flitting from flower to flower, this is where I really fell for their beauty.

Sadly, my favorite little shop is no longer there. They have been bought out by a much bigger company and it just doesn’t have the same feeling as before. I am thankful for the fun memories of Violet asking every time we passed by if we could stop and get some new flowers, check out a couple of our adventures below, and for the fantastic flowers that they provided. Things are always changing…

But we are living happily ever after having discovered fun flowers and great memories!
